Let's Have A Thread About non-league Cheaterfurlough

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Maybe a bit of sand to help sure their castle up.

It looks like Dave Allen wanted the other directors to waive the interest payments on their loans. They did not want to so he resigned as Chairman and a director of the football club.

Chesterfield apparently need to find £50k quite quickly to pay HMRC and £200,000k for wages and other outgoings.

Apparently, if they had an absolute Zero wage bill, they'd still have to average 7000 at home games to break even on their current overheads.

Nobody knows what these are and why they are so expensive.

[wayno cordiniho]

All sounds a bit woolly to me...

[wayno cordiniho]

If they came around with the collection tins what would you put in ?(bodily fluid answers don't count)

An empty brown envelope!

Interest on loans?

At the moment they can only speculate really. The only bloke who really knows the whole story has spat his dummy out and done one.

Funnily enough, if they do somehow find a new backer to keep going, Allen could do to them what Haslam did to us with rent for the stadium.
It's crazy to think that after the Darren Brown saga they were a fan owned club, and the fans voted by a majority to sell the main bukk of shares to Allen.
They placed their trust in a Sheffield Wednesday fan, who seemingly every dee-dah warned them about, and unsurprisingly it's come back to bite them on the backside.

Call 999. Get me a medic. I've popped a rib through laughing too much.

[Amberheart]

Haha

[Stoney]

4 more directors have just left the club....

Could the last one out turn the lights off.

[Calstag]

Oh dear, they arnt laughing now are they

[Wh_Stag]

I hope they spend some time in the conference, Maybe drop into the conference north for a short while. If we did 5 years I'm sure they can cope with 10

[Beano]

This could only be funnier if John Batchelor was still alive.

"Haslam is a Spireite" indeed

Maybe Keith could buy them for a pound like he did us.

23 road maps to all none league grounds.

NSFW!!

I wouldn't mind them spending 5+ years in the Conference, it would do their fans the world of good.

However, I would never want to see a club go bust, not even our fiercest local rivals. They are human beings (well, some of them), and they are cut from the same cloth as us.

They're in serious, serious doo doo, and it's impossible to see how they can claw their way out of it. This could be the end of Chesterfield FC, it almost certainly is as we know it. Laugh all you want, but lets face it... we are so unbelievably lucky. I genuinely believe we were days away from this happening to us had we not been saved.

Good luck to them. They'll need it.

[1975stag]

Im not one to poke fun or anything


But



Hahahahahahaha

Chumpta and the rest of your lot


They who laugh last laugh longest.....enjoy your slide into non league

[Rob]

We have some decent Spireites who frequent this board, for their sake I would hate to see the club go under. However, I do think a spell in the Conference would be amusing for us and a bitter pill for those who mocked us during our dark days. Trouble is, it is only the genuine die hard fan who suffers, it is they who will watch the rubbish in the Conference whilst the 4,000 odd newly found fans will crawl back from whence they came.

There's a long way to go with this and it may not be as bad as some fear.

[jeff]

Didn't they take massive gamble on a player who must be a multi millionaire?
Surely it's time to call a favour back in

Let's just hope it is eh
